Jun 22, Noah rated it really liked it. The true measure of a critic is the extent to which the reader will follow him or her into subjects for which the reader has little intrinsic interest. For me, Mendelsohn is just such a critic because he always takes a narrow subject and broadens his critique to include aspects of the larger culture.

I've read a lot of reviews by this point in my life. It's a constrained art, honestly more of a craft. Without stepping outside it, Mendelsohn elevates it.

Her ghost engineers the redemptive future of her family and friends and she even revisits and enters, like a succubus, the body of a friend to experience healing sex with a boy on whom she had a crush.

Art should disturb, not soothe. Many readers refuse the ugliness that is the flip-side of beauty; the appalling evil that goes hand-in-hand with innocence. How easily readers including many savvy critics can succumb to false reassurance. Mendelsohn will have none of this. An unerrimg eye and provocative tongue make Mendelsohn a master critic and this collection one to relish.

Beautifully written essays, primarily about popular entertainments based on Greek myth. Sep 21, James rated it it was amazing. Daniel Mendelsohn is much, much smarter than I am and has a sophisticated perspective on whole areas of the culture opera, say of which I am almost entirely ignorant, I can't imagine a critic, though, more in line with my own peculiar enthusiasms. I wouln't've thought it was possible to read someone with astute things to say about Kill Bill and Thucydides, let alone with such generous sensibility and elegant prose style.

I was a little less smitten, I suppose, with this collection than with Wai Daniel Mendelsohn is much, much smarter than I am and has a sophisticated perspective on whole areas of the culture opera, say of which I am almost entirely ignorant, I can't imagine a critic, though, more in line with my own peculiar enthusiasms. I was a little less smitten, I suppose, with this collection than with Waiting for the Barbarians , which has everything to do, I'm sure, with the order in which I read them.

I was aware though, that one disadvantage of reading a collection of pieces published over time in several periodicals is that certain arguments made for different audiences in different contexts are repeated in a way that for the anthology reader seems redundant. Nevertheless, I couldn't help feeling he was being a little insistent. General excellence aside, one thing I really like about Mendelsohn is his generosity. In contrast with another critic whose collection collection I just read, I don't think I've read a piece of criticism by Daniel Mendelsohn in which he doesn't examine at least one thing he genuinely enjoyed in the piece under discussion.

I think I value this not just because it offers the reader some tonal relief, but because it means he paid attention to the work instead of writing a self-fulfilling piece about his own rhetorical presuppositions.

For what is a crisis, if not an event that forces us to distinguish between the crucial and the trivial, forces us to reveal our priorities, to apply the most rigorous criteria and judge things?

As a culture and art critic, the author spans this book of essays into several categories: heroines such as various women in the movie "The Hours" , the heroics such as movies "" and "Troy" , closets Oscar Wilde, Angels in America , Theater The Producers , and lastly, war Medea, etc.

I did not read all the essays as I am not yet familiar with some of the subject matters, and would rather come to the essays when I have more than a casual acquaintances as I know how influential a critic would be to shape the prejudice and presumptions of our initial encounter , but I did read the pieces such as "The Hours" with care. Three women's lives, some rather trivial and tiny the kinder word is "quotidian" , and one bigger Virginia Woolf. The author said that The Hours is a literary novel to "investigate the large Woolf themes -- the nature of creativity, the role of literature in life, the authentic feel of everyday living".

Of course, The Hours is a delicate and ventriloquizing work after Mrs. Dalloway, an equally puzzling book for my more foreign and perhaps slightly modern view of women's lives. The book and movie thus maintained a very explicit linkage to Woolf's own work and life. This brings afore the question: what is art?

From the mammoth sculptures of Henry Moore to the miniaturist curving inside a snuff box, what constitutes genuine art? Women's delicacy and their bravery in miniature social confines is still a form too refined for my own taste but I find myself constantly being drawn to them -- of which, I would chalk up as a promising beginning to see the world of the "quotidian".

And in any case, these essays are brilliant, thoughtful, deeply researched and very engaging.

Mendelsohn's review of Kill Bill: Vol 1 answered some unsolved questions I had about what the bloody heck Tarantino was referencing in places; his essay on Dale Peck raises great issues on the practice and function of literary criticism; and in other reviews, he neatly fills in the blanks on the biographies of Henry James and Oscar Wilde and Alexander the Great while weighing contemporary takes on their work and reminding the reader of the roots of these dead white guys' relevance in the first place. I know more than a few of my Goodreads buddies dig these kinds of explorations as much as I do.

It took me a while to get around to picking up this book but I'm glad I finally did If you loathed The Lovely Bones but couldn't entirely articulate why it seemed so insidious, this book is for you.

At some point in high school possibly multiple points , you were undoubtedly forced to read an ancient Greek play though hopefully not in ancient Greek. And most likely, you were bored out of your mind and wondered why you reading these plays when they had nothing to do with your life.

If my teachers had explained "Medea" or "Antigone" with even half the brilliance of Mendelsohn, English classes would have been a vastly different experience.

A classics scholar and a critic, Mendelsohn examines a variety of subjects, from movies to plays to books, usually linking them to concepts from classical thought. And it's not all stuff high culture stuff, either: he reviews "Kill Bill" as well as Thucydides' "History. Although familiarity with the topics is helpful, he always provides a summary and commentary so you can follow along. Furthermore, "How Beautiful" shows how to write an engaging essay. Not only was I intrigued by each okay, almost all of them essay, I was surprised by Mendelsohn's humor countless times.
